Why can't you go through the SFRA? Only the FRZ is off limits.

300nm? pft, what do you fly a skyhawk?

NJMP members, New Jersey Mooney Pilots will be hosting a competing lunch at KGED on July 13th, 11AM.

It's not about agreeing or not. If saving the government from fiscally destroying itself is a requisite for achieving funding for GA, then it's in AOPA's and GA's interest.

Becca, but you're missing the point. It is aviation related. When the govt wastes too much money on entitlement programs, it causes them to run out of money and then mandated spending cuts that affect GA.

By taxiway intersection do they mean not using the displaced threshold or do they really mean he took off from the midfield intersection!?

Brett, don't be so hard on your wife

Don't do it unless it's priced as thought it has a run down engine. Word of caution, prebuys often can't catch potential engine problems down the line (as result of sitting). Several of us here got 200 hours since purchase until the cam problems manifested. Don't trust the prebuy. The only way it's worth it is if it's priced like the engine is shot and then you see if that holds true or you win and get lucky.

Brett, how come I have to drag you out kicking and screaming to these events and then Seth throws a quick note out there and you're mentally there already?

Airspeed? Who cares about airspeed when you've got Angle of Attack

Pretty much, unless I get too busy and forget to put more on or the frequency is so congested that it's constantly being overridden. I'll practice flying back to back approaches in IMC and still have my music playing.

Hey! I only touched once. I ballooned up in the float a few times, saved it, and planted it down exactly once. How's that for currency!?

I think they rubbed the FAA inspector all over them and got a 337 approved.

Thanks Chris for inviting us and organizing, it was a blast. You forgot to mention what the paint job does to the landing performance though

Hey, my plane was in annual! Now that she's back, screw you guys, I'm going flying again tomorrow

All we need's the dentist and then it's a party.

Allen's gonna say it's no fair cause I have AOA indicator and he doesn't. But I have evidence that says he has one too. He just doesn't know how to use it!

Allen wanted me to start another poll.

Knock yourself out

Sounds like the most dangerous kinda day to be flying

It looks like a good number of you guys maintain instrument currency and proficiency. I wonder what your personal definition of proficient is? I voted instrument current but not proficient. This doesn't mean I think I'd get in an accident by jumping in and flying instruments but without a little more recent practice, I don't feel I'd be on top of my game like I would be if I had some more recent IFR flights. Last time I flew in the clouds was a bit over 2 weeks ago, last actual approach was a month ago and two simulated. 2 more simulated 2 months ago. So although I am current and probably safe, I can already feel the rust come on and have to think harder about what I'd need to do. Without a little practice, I'm not sure if I could pass the instrument checkride right now.

Come see my toys Saturday when I fly up to New Garden. You can check out my WingX + Clarity SV. Maybe you'll reveal to me what you wash your plane with to make it so slick.

Just got my plane back from annual. Enjoying the honeymoon before I get the bill. I'm going and so is Brett. Save some pancakes for us.
